Who Are You?

Recently on Channel 4, artist Grayson Perry has created a documentary series called 'Who Are You?', which delves around the aspect of looking deeper into certain individuals, and their true identity.
Perry would create portraits of each of his subjects, whom he believed, were at crossroads with their identity.
For example, Perry studied people with different associated labels, such as: fame, religion, gender and power. For power he chose Chris Huhne, formerly Liberal democrat politician, who was facing prosecution for perverting the court of justice.
In creating Huhne's portrait, Grayson came to the idea of producing a pot. The pot was smashed and then put back together, but artistically using gold strips to show the cracks, which was a metaphor to show Huhne's vulnerability and how he went from everything, to quite simply, nothing. The creation of the pot also saw references from Andy Warhol were images perhaps easily associated with Huhne, were repeated numerously in an Andy-Warhol-like style.
If you haven't watched any of these episodes yet, I truly recommend that you do! They're really interesting and through Grayson's ethnographic research, you really get an insight into the different people's lives and feelings through their struggles and at their crossroads.
